The USA is trying to shift the blame to Russia after failing to pinpoint China.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/exclusive-trump-says-russia-helping-north-korea-skirt-190952968.html

The USA is trying to blame Russia now after failing to put the blame on China for the illegal oil shipments.

As the main culprit for the illegal oil shipments was Taiwan and not China, the USA had to bail out Taiwan by shifting the blame to Russia.

The USA has shown itself to be non-credible and non-trustworthy.  It is only using its military might and economic prowess to impose itself on others.

The USA is trying to escalate the Korean peninsula tension.

https://sg.news.yahoo.com/russia-north-korea-summit-undermines-u-n-aggravates-165723310.html

The USA is trying to supersede the UN by getting 20 countries to participate in a non-UN sanction against North Korea.  This is an illegal sanction and doesn't have the UN mandate.  The 20 countries involved are the same countries that attacked NK in the past.  Therefore, we can tell from this that the USA still possesses the cold war mentality.

Furthermore, the USA is begging for a war with North Korea when the Korean peninsula tension is easing between SK & NK.  This is evident from the way the US is conducting a military exercise against NK on its homeland.

The truth about Bitcoin!

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/now-thats-a-crypto-crash-bitconnect-coin-dives-90-as-company-shuts-exchange-2018-01-17?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-speculative-bubble-bursting-long-050501188.html

Many bitcoin fanatics are calling others to buy bitcoins on the dips.  Is it wise to do that?

Is bitcoin or cryptocurrency a scam?  Bitcoin fanatics cited the following reasons for bitcoin investment.

* Bitcoin has a limited supply of 21m and the price will keep going up because of its limited supply. (Bitcoin is scalable because developers and miners can fork bitcoin into bitcoin cash, bitcoin gold, etc.  Therefore, bitcoin is not limited but unlimited.  Demand and supply will only cause price fluctuations but not create real value in the product.)

* Bitcoin has no central bank control and is unregulated. (Without regulation, bitcoin is highly susceptible to frauds and manipulations.  For example, private cryptocurrency exchanges can just shut down without any compensation made to users.)

https://techcrunch.com/2018/01/16/bitconnect-which-has-been-accused-of-running-a-ponzi-scheme-shuts-down/

* Bitcoin is anonymous. (The USA & G20 will try to remove the anonymity soon.  Without anonymity, there is no intrinsic value in bitcoin anymore.  The G20 summit is in March 2018.)

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/01/bitcoin-is-inching-closer-to-its-death.html

* Bitcoin will gain worldwide adoption because it is a technological breakthrough. (Bitcoin is slow and expensive to be used for merchant transactions as it takes about 10min and costs around USD$30 to process a transaction.  Furthermore, bitcoin is subjected to daily price swings that merchants cannot tolerate.  Therefore, it is impractical and not feasible to adopt bitcoin as a payment mode.)

* Bitcoin is easy to buy and sell on crypto exchanges. (Bitcoin is hard to buy and sell during exigencies.  Many investors cannot cash out during recent crashes and are left to lick their wounds.  Sometimes, it can take up to an hour just to sell bitcoin during peak hours.)

Our conclusion: Stay away from bitcoin or cryptocurrency!

There are valid points in Dagong credit rating report on the USA.

http://en.dagongcredit.com/uploadfile/2018/0116/20180116034946792.pdf

We have read the full report in the Dagong credit rating report on the USA and agreed with the valid points raised in the report.

The federal government is virtually bankrupt and the USA cannot repay its colossal debts.  However, no western credit rating firms dare to raise this valid point and continue to assign good credit rating for the USA so that the USA can continue to issue debts to finance its economic growth.  There is no doubt that the USA economic growth is based on credit growth.

In the Dagong's report, the USA is likely to implement QE5 in 2019 because of difficulties in issuing debts in 2018 due to rising interest rates, anemic economic growth and falling USD.  Therefore, the foreign investors will lose interests in the USD bonds and shift their monies elsewhere.  Recently, Bloomberg also published that China would slow down or even halt the purchases of US treasuries because of unattractive investment yields (falling USD & low-interest rates).

Therefore, money printing is the only way out for the USA to maintain its economic growth and the ensuing QE will come as the US federal government will use the new money to boost its economy.

Robbery happened at Ritz Hotel (5-Star) in Paris.

We had warned about Paris security in our previous postings.  Therefore, this shouldn't come as a surprise.

Cryptocurrencies have crashed but have not reached bottom yet. Why?

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/bitcoin-ethereum-price-forecast-crash-040830037.html

G20 summit will convene in March 2018 and the USA wants to work with G20 members to remove the anonymity in the cryptocurrency so that criminals cannot avoid detections.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2018/01/bitcoin-is-inching-closer-to-its-death.html

As bitcoin is impractical to use for a merchant transaction since it takes about 10mins to process and costs around USD$30 per transaction, the only intrinsic value lies in the anonymity of the holder.

Without this anonymity, bitcoin will crash further!

Let's see what the G20 will do to remove the anonymity.

Noble's future is getting from bad to worse - Part 2

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/goldman-commodity-revenue-drops-75-151222972.html

The commodity industry is still in a doldrum as we can see it from the investment bank's commodity trading division.

It will be hard for Noble to survive in this industry as it has sold all its golden gooses.

China has managed to control ASEAN!

http://www.todayonline.com/world/mekong-countries-pledge-more-cooperation-demands-river-grow

China has managed to convince 5 ASEAN members to let China build 20 dams along Mekong river in exchange for resource sharing such as electricity generated by the dams through electrical grids which will be connected to these 5 countries.  Thus, China will be in charge of sharing the water & electricity among these 5 ASEAN members.

This has big implications for ASEAN as these 5 economies will be closely integrated with China's.  Furthermore, China will also implement its QRcode payment system in these countries to facilitate purchases for China tourists and local residents.  It is without any doubt that China will be able to exert its political powers and influences over these 5 ASEAN members and dilute Singapore's influences.  We took cognizant of such development in our previous posting below.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/12/china-is-forging-closer-relationships.html

China has made it very difficult for Singapore to oppose China in the ASEAN summit this year especially when SG is the chairman in 2018.

China is expected to win the KL-SG HSR because of its technological, economical and political prowess.  Please read our previous postings.

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/09/why-is-china-so-blase-about-singapore.html

http://sg-stock.blogspot.sg/2017/09/who-will-win-kl-sg-hsr-project.html

If the KL-SG HSR is awarded to another country especially to Japan, China will not take this fiasco lying down lightly and deem this to be an anti-China move.  Therefore, China will definitely take revenge in the future as it has shown to possess great patience in implementing its strategic plans.

China wants to ban cryptocurrency completely.

https://sg.finance.yahoo.com/news/pboc-official-says-chinas-centralised-virtual-currency-trade-055307878--business.html

China wants to wipe out cryptocurrency from the mainland.  China is restricting electricity, land use and so on to ban cryptocurrency.

We support China's move because cryptocurrency is a derivative that can disrupt an economy in a very bad way and it defies economic sense.

A government manages an economy in 3 basic forms: Monetary, Fiscal & Structural policies.  However, it is already difficult to manage an economy with these 3-pronged approaches and recessions happen periodically.

As cryptocurrency will affect the monetary policy effectiveness, it is wiser for the government to nip the cryptocurrency in the bud before it explodes and renders the monetary policy ineffective.  The government will find it almost impossible to manage an economy with only 2 tools instead of 3.

China credit rating firm cuts USA credit standing.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/chinese-agency-dagong-cuts-u-sovereign-ratings-bbb-082413506--business.html

China credit rating firm cuts USA credit standing from A- to BBB+, citing USA debt problem as the main reason for the downgrade.

Trump has added US$1.5T to the national debt in the next 10 years because of his tax policies and the USA government is virtually bankrupt now.  The debt ceiling must be raised to allow the USA government to function properly.  The US economic growth is based on credit booming and this is not sustainable as the day of reckoning will come sooner or later.

However, no western credit rating firm dares to report the USA problems in details for fear of retaliation from the USA government.  This is akin to the approvals of the Lehman Brothers minibonds by all the western credit rating firms until the saga happened.
